Hello Edward: You really are too lavish in your praise! I am certainly no expert and my research was largely a result of the efforts of you, Robin, Serge, Stephen and others in previous posts. What does appear to be excellent, however, are the prospects for Spellcaster. If I'm not mistaken, Corel's market cap reached 3.5 Billion this week based on the potential of its linux based software. Stock prices of other companies are exploding based on what in some cases appears to be a linux closeology play. One can only imagine what Spellcaster would have done this week as a publicly traded company. At any rate, I was not able to contact anyone from Derlan to confirm their participation in Spellcaster, and as it does not appear in any of their financials I do question the 50% stake in Spellcaster, especially in light of their recent divesture program. Now, I see that Robin, yourself and others have followed this company for a long while and hesitate to question your earlier statement of Derlans stake as I know you are sincere in your efforts. Having said that, even a modest stake in this company is potentially extremely valuable should linux continue to grow and should Spellcaster be as it certainly appears. A company focused on linux for years, both in hardware and software, etc.. Again, everyone will do their own DD and I am far from knowlegeable in both investing nor this technology. (but IF Spellcaster were to go public and IF Derlan has even a small share of it....g) Good luck and I appreciate your feedback CGreen
